At 70 years old, I am a Chinese individual who has endured the harrowing Great Chinese Famine and the tumultuous Cultural Revolution. These events, with all their physical, mental, and spiritual challenges, have become a part of who I am. I recently discovered the musical piece "Exodus" and was profoundly moved by its resonance with my soul. As a self-taught pianist, I've learned to play this masterpiece and have had the honor of performing it for my fellow seniors, where I volunteer, as well as on cruise trips. This piece is one I can listen to repeatedly. It invokes in me a vivid remembrance of the 36 million lives lost to famine from 1958 to 1962, a tragedy that ceased when I was just eight years old. "Exodus" is more than a composition that echoes sadness, suffering, and the depths of human misery; it serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration. Life, in all its facets, is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this experience.
This is a sacred song. Looking back on the second half of 2023, wars are everywhere; man-made disasters are everywhere. When will humans learn to stop greed and jealousy? Cherish all living things, every plant and tree.
I deeply trust and truly worship our God, especially after listenting to this greatest song again and again with its amazing piano performances here! May God lead us and save this world with His Might and Power! Thanks for sharing!
